Flat black over black? what's the point then if you can only see them from certain angles? Not worth the hassle IMO

I might consider something unconventional like a pair of strips off the midline like the Rossiion Q1 in the latest R&T. However, stripes lend themselves best to wide, low sports cars or muscle cars.

I think stripes are best left to square bricky looking cars as it adds a little interest by breaking the flat surface up a little. The well-considered lines of the Z would be compromised with such an addition.

I saw a cayman the other day that was black with flat black stripes. They weren't centered but were off to the driver's side and ran along the bumper, up the hood, on the top and then down the rear end. looked pretty sharp. Had some of the OZ ultraleggaras in black.

lamborghini balboni has racing stripes so it's not exclusive to domestic cars

I disagree.

I had the same idea. I was actually going to buy a used 370z to get cheaper payments. It was that Bright Blue color which i didnt like. But I asked the dealer, if you put a racing strip on it, i would buy it. They said they would! [still didn't buy it, bought new one instead]

I think if you didn't do the FAT Center strip then you would avoid being the muscle car-ish type. Maybe 2 thin strips that curve with the hood and roof contours?

Maybe someone could get a good pic of a Black or Blue Z from the front or back, then photoshop the thin strips on there? Worth seening anyway before we dog it.

In general, racing stripes look good in very few cars. I can't envision a beauty such as a Z with those. Just my opinion, dude.

I think maybe if they were offset to the side and not down the middle , it may look good.

Do it. I think it would look great.

I have Grand Sport stripes on my 350Z-- it's different & I like it.
